About Common Lisp

Common Lisp is an offshoot of the long-running family of Lisp programming languages.
It's a multi-paradigm programming language that allows you to choose the approach and paradigm according to your application domain.

Common Lisp has fast prototyping capabilities, and exceptional support for object oriented programming.
It also boasts a macro system which allows you to adapt the language to your needs, and a run-time environment which allows modification of running applications.

I have always been interested in Lisps since taking the SICP course in college. I love the expressiveness and conciseness of the simple syntax, and the ability to build the language upward to meet the domain.

Meet the Common Lisp Track maintainers

The Common Lisp Maintainers are the brains behind the Common Lisp Track. They spend their spare time creating interesting and challenging exercises that we can all learn from. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work. Here are the bios of a few of the maintainers of this track.
